Midterm Assignment 3: Always Wanted To Progress Report (100 words or so)
I have changed my new style to 'Western Wear". I feel this is a current and popular trend that will fit my personality well. I got another job recently so i can afford to indulge in my style needs and I have already bought many new pieces that fit my new style and I am in love with them. With my next paycheck I plan to buy a pair of western boots. I have already picked them out and taged them on my computer, the only thing left to do is get the money to buy them. So far so good. My project is going very well and is really fun!

 * Your accomplishment (20%)

<> I think I pretty much achieved my goal in changing my style. To explain, I no longer feel like I dress messy or not put together. I now know that I have my own destinct style, and I'm glad that it's western. Lately I have even been getting compliments from friends and family on my new style!


 * Project Review (50%)
 * 1)What went well

I loved changing my style! It was so much fun being able to go shopping and pick out destinct pieces that I knew would work well together. Before I would just shop what I thought was cute. Which lead to my wardrobe having no consistency. I feel much more accomplished now that I have my very own style. I love that people can look at me and know were my heart lies.
 * 2)What went poorly

I wish I would have bought more clothes. I didn't get all the pieces that I wanted, like cowboy boots! If I would have purchased more items my style would be stronger, I would have more confidence, feel even more accomplished; but I guess the project doesn't end just because the class does. I plan to continue buying itmes to go with my new Western style.
 * 3)Future strategies

The only real stategy I would have in the future would be having more money. There wasn't all that much I could do with a college students income.
